| Obverse description | Head of Aphrodite facing left, rendered in fine high relief with delicately engraved hair swept back and gathered into a bun at the nape of the neck, secured by a sphendone or fillet. The goddess wears a pendant earring with multiple drops visible below the ear. The facial features are rendered in the refined Knidian style, with a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and downcast eyes. The magistrate's abbreviated ethnic inscription Κ ΝΙ (for ΚΝΙΔΙΩΝ) appears in the lower field flanking the neck. |
